Hi Guys,

I'm looking to pick up an X50 and would like your thoughts on the deal.

2003 Porsche 911 Turbo X50
MSRP $144k
Tiptronic
27k miles
CPO'd for 2 more years
Black/Black

Asking $54-55k. What do you think? Is it worth it? I'm hesitating on the fact that it's a Tiptronic rather than 6MT, but it clearly is in good shape, and I like the fact that it's warrantied for 2 more years. It's priced better than anything else I can find at the moment too.

 

Tips can be had for high 30's, even 04's. The X50 package isn't going to bring that much extra. I believe that is extremely high.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't seen very many low mileage examples to compare with, but ebay is loaded with cars that are priced way over.

 

I bought my 04 X50 Cab Tip in 12/08. 54K miles. Paid $53.

Tells me the one you're looking at is priced too high.

Personally I love the Tip.

 

there is an '03 X-50 here in the bay area for sale in the low 40s. It's a tip as well. Tips don't get the money that a 5speed will. That one you are looking at is a little high. Be patient, one will come up in your price range or just wait on that one you are looking at. It isn't going anywhere at that price.

 

I don't think its that bad of a price, especialy with the warranty. For what its worth, about 6 months ago I got a 02 black/black with 29k miles (non-X50) for $49.5k with a 2.2 year warranty. Car itself was $47.5k without the warranty. Mine is a tip, and I LOVE the tip. I don't necessarily agree that Tips should fetch lower prices than a manual b/c they are harder to find, at least when I was looking for a clean low miles one.

 

Thanks everyone! It sounds like I should wait. Perhaps the market firmed up recently?

 

I found a new one:

2001 Porsche Turbo
(not X50)
tiptronic
39k miles
$36k + $700 shipping

This seems reasonable I think, no?

 

But is it CPO-ed? At that price I would think not. If there is something major wrong with the engine, you will be kicking yourself for not buying one for more with a warranty. Personaly I would not buy one without a warranty. I have now bought 4 Porsches all with a warranty.

 

No cpo warranty that old. Just a well kept car with no accident history

 

Well, there you go.

 

Thanks!!!

If I was still looking, I'd at least have to consider it.

 

Ummmm, it says it's a turbo but those pics aren't of a turbo. Run, run for the hills........

 

It's a Ford dealership, I'm sure they took it on trade for a Taurus and know nothing about it.

The VIN corresponds with the turbo. If it's price you want and the mileage doesn't concern you, it might be worth checking out.
